Health Tooth extraction?

[Shell]

Had 3 taken out.
Can't wait till i can actually eat again.

Ice cream ftw.

How was it?

 

[Shell]

Tin spag if you mash it up is pretty easy to eat too.

 

[Smoooothy]

had my top wisdoms taken out because they'd both impacted and had nerves exposed

cost $1200 to get removed and under local. from memory there were 6 injections on either side - was surprised how little it actually hurt to be honest

took a few months for the holes to close up properly. gargling salt water is ****ing horrible

The whole operation wasn't to bad, i was very numbed up though.
The teeth came out very easily as well.
Yesterday the bleeding mouth feeling was shit.
But i just took it easy and slept a fair bit.
Just trying to make sure these blood clots stay in as i don't want Dry Socket!

Ugh yeah the bleeding would be horrible. I was lucky didn't get that at all. The pain was pretty bad tho for 2-3 days.

How long til you could eat solids?

IIRC, about day 3-4.

When I got my braces on tho I was determined to eat a chicken roll from the deli- straight away afterwards. Think it took me about an hour

 

[Smoooothy]

I ate very carefully for a couple weeks after. the only night I didn't really eat was the first night

if I did eat, I salt rinsed my mouth straight after so I didn't have any rotting food etc

Gotta go to the dentist to get two teeth pulled tomorrow.
One of them is a wisdom tooth that has grown in the wrong way.
The other is a (lower molar) that had a cavity an became infected, been on antibiotics for it.

Anyway anyone had any experience with this an what to expect?
Really dreading it tbh

Told this story a few times.


Had to get all 4 removed for the same reason.
Go under , next thing i remember is convulsing on a stretcher.
Had gone into shock in recovery.
Woke up with a sore chest , doc had had to brace his knee on my chest , apparently he got TOO much leverage because he took a chunk of jawbone with him.

My jawline is now crooked , and i resemble THIS kent......


Women look away , babies start crying and Dogs cower from me.



ALL THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!

Also - If you're a smoker - DON'T SMOKE FOR DAYS AFTER

Never fun discovering after a week that the blood you thought you were just swallowing wasn't blood.......

You had an abcess.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Yeah whole mouth felt really gross for most of yesterday, no bleeding now just the blood clots sitting there waiting to heal.

Oh cool, i've had maybe a couple spoonfuls of youghurt since yesterday but that's it.
Need to do a store run and get some soft foods.

Yeah the dentist told me that smoking is the biggest cause of dry socket.
Thankfully i haven't smoked in years

No biggy. You don't feel a thing once the anaesthetic goes in. Had a bottom tooth pulled as a kid. Was growing the wrong way or some shit Nothing to it. There are far greater medical procedures I fear then the dentist.

 

[flashmanvc]

Had three taken out, all on separate occasions. Local dental surgeon is a bit of a gun; walk in with four hundred bucks, leave soon after with with a footprint on your bleeding and swollen face.

Teeth taken out of the lower jaw hurt more. Or is it the top? Either way, good luck and remember to enjoy yourself!

 

[PoppedCorn]

Just dont get dry socket.
Other than that. ..mehh
dentistry has come a fair way

 

[GreyCrow]

Going in next week , first time in umm 30 years? Hope dentistry has improved. School dentists really put the phobia into me.

 

[GreyCrow]

What is Dry Socket?

 

[PoppedCorn]

When the hole where the tooth comes from dries out before it heals up

 

[PoppedCorn]

Youll be fine
I had two visits in a month
needles dont even hurt as my dentist uses a numbing gel first

cleaning Actually hurts me more than anything as the little tool they use can be sharp on the gums.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

I can give you that "Thailand Experience" as well just to clinch the deal

You need to get manila player as your dental nurse.

 

[TheKanga]

Got them out on Thursday and i feel heaps better now, seems to be healing nicely.

1st wisdom tooth I had out was in a dodgy dentist in the middle of Borneo. Walked in & it didn't look too hygienic but the tooth was growing into the molar & needed to be gone. $25 & didn't get aids. Winrar.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

I had all my wisdoms out under a general and was off work for 2 weeks. They had to dislocate my jaw and one of them had to be chipped out.

Far kennel.
I had all four wisdoms, and another shattered tooth, removed under general and was right three days later. That would have been shocking. I hope you had some good pain killers (by day two i was using mine more as sleeping tablets).

 

[Cotchin 9]

Think I had three wisdoms out in the chair. Probably took one panadol/nurofen or whatever for it, but generally fine and bounced back quickly.

 

[Bostonian]

I had a tooth become loose after a collision in football. Waited a few weeks to see how it progressed then when it didn't improve/change I ripped it out with some pliers. Beats paying a dentist to do it.

 

[jimbler]

They had to dislocate my jaw and one of them had to be chipped out

The roots of one of the teeth was wrapped around a few others, so it was a bit of a fiddly op, involving jaw dislocation.

Seriously WTF? Is this a normal thing? Do they tell you they are going to dislocate your jaw before they knock you out? I'd rather not know that beforehand.
